They are pushing for no retirement concept in Singapore.

I think Grab should start grabdomestichelper for these jobless locals. Go site do fast and finish in 4 hours. Free exercise.

I know of at least two hawkers that molested their maid and went to jail.

Easier said than done. Who wants to hire old workers and pay them decently?

[K88 shu shu]

me still doing Grab at age 70 now.

Cleaning companies, SATS Catering, MacD, just to name a few.

They do hire older workers.

But there are others who prefer to retire, and enjoy their golden years, a time to be able to smell the roses, a time to enjoy the simple joys of life.  At age 62, it is time to retire.......but our garment wants us to work until 65, then 67 and later 69

“The advantage of increasing the normal retirement age is to keep Social Security solvent for more retirees for longer,” says Emily C. Rassam, senior financial planner at Archer Investment Management in Charlotte, North Carolina. “There are several potential ways to fix the Social Security system. In short, they involve increasing revenue or decreasing distributions. If the Normal Retirement Age increases again, it will decrease total lifetime payouts for retirees, especially those who start collecting income early.”

I can't seem to find the data for Singapore but jn other countries only 1 in 5000 live to be above 100. So talking about living above hundred is rather irrelevant  Just because a handful live above 100 does not mean everyone has to take this as normal.

Statistically

1. One third of people die before 75 enjoying less than 10yrs of retirement if they start at 65.

2. By 85 half the cohort is going means that more half enjoy less than 20yrs of retirement.

Like the video posted earlier retirement = doing something you like. You can work but it has to be something you like. But many are working because they are poor and needy.

Retirement is different for each person but what us important having choices.

Get this into your head once and for all
When the PAPigs talk about retiring at a later age
They are not referring to those high income professionals
They want or they need the old seniors to do those manual chores nobody wants to do at an old age
Like cleaners, collect dirty dishes, kitchen helpers, Road sweepers, security guards, cardboard collectors
So they get their PLPs to write all these stories

The average life expectancy in France is 82.

Macron has repeatedly called the change “necessary” to avoid annual pension deficits forecast to hit 13.5 billion euros ($14.8bn) by 2030, according to government figures.

Yes, to have enough money and not bother the state for medical treatments............as medical treatments are very expensive in this city state...............

But the pay is not decent.

MacD pays about $10 an hour.

Can still afford to eat cai png, and is better than not earning a single cent staying at home right.

Work just one hour, and you have two meals taken care of...lunch and dinner.

No need to beg your chewren for money...

The government cannot force you to work.  It is only giving you an option to continue to work.  So do not say "The government WANTS us to blah blah blah...."

SgBuffet retired at the ripe old age of 24 after working for MacD as a counter boy for a few years.  The government cannot do anything about it right.

Civil servants are darn lucky because the government has to do what it preaches.  I know of a community centre staff who was earning $4K a month.  When he turned 62, he was reemployed.  He was damned happy.

In the private sector, you'd hope that somehow the boss' son who is taking over his father's business likes you.  Otherwise when his laupeh retires, the son sexpects you to get the hell out of the company.

Yes what you say is true.  Many elderly have to work or else they have to beg for help.

50 such "elderly" can be counted as many, and you will become one of those in the near future because after MacD, you had never worked.

And I can give you 1000 times that number who go on vacations to China, the US, Europe and even to exotic places in South America.  You can see them at travel road shows.

Look at the zoomers today.  Riding PMD, smoking, YOLO, jiakliaobee.

We have those among the boomers too 40 years ago.

Today, they are old and poor.  LHL's fault.

Yes, it has to be his fault.  Who else?  

Stop farting man.

Yes, the LKK works as return tray cleaners and table top cleaners..........they are the ones who lived below the poverty line.................
